Never Pay For Checked Bags Again!

Essentially, they are nylon packs that will zip closed. In doing so, packing cubes will:
- Compress your clothing and items together.
- Save precious room in your carry-on bags and smaller suitcases.
- Allow you to pack more efficiently.
- Bring more essential travel items with you in your carry-on bags that can be placed in the overhead bin on flights.
- Avoid you from paying for checked luggage ever again.
The same can be applied for trains, buses, road trips and any other mode of transportation.
One of my all-time favorite packing cube brands is the Veken 6-set Packing Cubes, which also includes a laundry bag and a shoe bag.
What do I like MOST about the Veken brand of packing cubes?
Their zippers are built super strong and don’t fall apart after a few uses. Durability is key here!
Seriously, packing cubes will make your future travels so much simpler and less stressful.
My Best Packing Tips Using Packing Cubes
- Roll your clothes as tight as you can before you pack them into the cubes
- Keep similar items together in the same cube. For example: underwear, socks and bras should be placed in the same smaller cube. Shirts should be placed in the medium cube.
- Don’t overpack. Use the cubes as a way to reduce the amount of items you pack. Less is best.
- Double bag any toiletries, liquids, gels, toothpaste, mouthwash, etc., in zip-loc bags to prevent them from leaking. Trust me, they will leak at some point!
